tsokolate para sayo.

Wag na mainis mahal ko.
Eto na ang chocolate para sayo.

Itsura pa lang masarap na.
Lalo na pag natikman mo pa.

Hindi man ito ang tamang picture
Tama pa rin naman ang Manufacturer.

Wag na mainis mahal ko..
Malapit na dumating ang chocolate
na simula pa lang ay para sayo.

not your everyday dinner.

Last saturday, an officemate invited us for some home cook dinner. Nevermind how he smuggled meat out of the US and into Barbados, it was all delicious!

- Griilled Bratswurt boiled in Banks beer (the local beer of the island)
- Grilled deer meat wrapped in bacon (which taste like steak)
- Curry deer
- Spicy rabbit (taste like kaldereta)

And Foie gras (force fed duck [sorry Anjie] a delicacy straight from France.

Everything was enjoyable to the palate. ^__^

miss you

I miss the way we just talk and talk.
About anything and everything.
Sense or senseless it doesn't really matter.

I miss the times we jog after office.
which most of the time is really walking to market market and eat.

I miss your cooking.
Fat burning soup and
Carbonara omellete for the win.

I miss the times we go to Timezone,
always seeing the old man win a ton of toys,
while we go home empty handed but happy.

I miss our back to back to back movie marathons.

I miss the times when you are moody..
well just sometimes... :))

I miss the way you deny you are corny...
yes you are.

I miss the way you make me laugh...
even if it's not that obvious.

So what I just really want to say is..
i miss being with you...

sa wakas.

the man with a glass half full

I'm an optimist.

I have the power to bend reality,
and turn everything into an opportunity.

I wear the optimist's goggles,
and see things in a different perspective.

I'm a salvager of my accidents, mishaps and losses,
in them I find experience, knowledge and wisdom.

Hey, I'm an optimist.
Everything will be all right.

moving forward...

the time is always now...
what i do now reflects what i want for the future...
tomorrow is today 24hours in advance...
i seldom make sense so please stop me now.
